2、EVALUATIONS FOR THE CLASSIFICATION OF MARINE-RELATED FACILITIES .2003 iii Foreword The mission of the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) is to serve the public interest, as well as the needs of its clients, by promoting the security of life, property, and the natural environment primarily through the

3、 development and verification of standards for the design, construction and operational maintenance of marine-related facilities. The Rules on which classification is predicated are established from principles of naval architecture, marine engineering and other engineering principles that have prove

4、n satisfactory by service experience and systematic analysis. The perceived benefits of the deterministic and prescriptive regulatory requirements were based mostly on experience, testing programs and expert judgment. The objective of these Rules has always been to ensure that the probabilities of a

5、ccidents with the potential for adversely affecting life, property and the natural environment are low. However, this assurance was not explicit, as Rules and regulations until recently were developed without the benefit of explicit estimates of risk. In recent years, there have been significant adv

6、ances in and experience with risk assessment methodology. ABS is continually seeking the improvement of its Rules and methods of analysis and exploring the directions where the industry is headed. Thus, ABS is exploring certain changes to the development and implementation of its Rules and regulatio

7、ns through the use of risk-based, and ultimately performance-based, approaches. The rewards for this potential process are improved classification services and, ultimately and foremost, improved safety and productivity. The transition to a risk-based regulatory framework is expected to be incrementa

8、l. Many of the present requirements are based on deterministic and prescriptive requirements that cannot be quickly replaced. Therefore, the current requirements will have to be maintained, while risk-based and/or performance-based approaches are being developed and implemented. The information and

9、process outlined in this Guide provides a risk-based perspective to evaluating proposed designs that offer alternative means of compliance to current prescriptive requirements, or novel designs for which classification requirements do not exist. This perspective offers many advantages to ship owners

10、/designers and ABS. Some of these advantages are: i) Increased ability to suggest innovative designs that are technically superior and more cost-effective. ii) Increased confidence that the proposed designs will provide the same level of safety. iii) Better understanding of hazards, mitigation measu

11、res, and risk posed by the proposed design. The process defined in this Guide provides a sound and practical approach for performing risk-evaluations to support the classification of proposed designs, so that the advantages listed above can be realized. This document provides guidance on how to prep

12、are a risk-based submittal to demonstrate that a proposed design meets the overall safety and strength standards of the Rules. It defines a process that the client can implement to prepare and submit documentation for consideration by ABS. It also outlines the approach that ABS will take in reviewin

13、g the submittal to determine if the proposed design is acceptable for classification. Additional guidance will be published on the application of risk-based approaches to classification activities, such as the ABS Guidance Notes on Review and Approval of Novel Concepts, the ABS Guide for Surveys Usi

14、ng Risk Based Inspection Techniques, and the ABS Guide for Surveys Based on Reliability Centered-Maintenance.

31、 .2003 1 SECTION 1 General 1 Objective This document provides guidance to ABS clients on how to prepare a risk evaluation to demonstrate that a design proposed for classification meets the overall criteria for safety and strength standards of the ABS Rules and Guides. It defines a process that the c

32、lient can implement to prepare and submit documentation for consideration by ABS. It also outlines the approach that ABS will take in reviewing the submittal to determine if the proposed design is acceptable for classification. 2 Application This document applies to any situation where a design is b

33、eing proposed on the premise that it provides equivalent protection against the risks addressed by the ABS Class Rules, rather than by strict compliance with existing prescriptive classification Rules. Evaluations of hardware and survey issues are included in the scope of this document. This Guide i

34、s applicable to both ships and offshore facilities. Specifically, this Guide is applicable when ABS clients are proposing: i) Alternative Arrangements. Marine-related facilities with design characteristics that include alternative means of compliance to applicable prescriptive classification Rules.

35、ii) Novel Features. Marine-related facilities that contain novel features of design in respect to the hull, machinery, or equipment to which provisions of the Rules are not directly applicable. A special comment will be entered in the Record indicating that classification of the vessel/installation

36、has incorporated the provisions of this Guide. If proposed designs include alternative arrangements or novel features that conflict with existing applicable statutory requirements or regulations from any other regulatory body outside ABS, the decision for approval lies with those external bodies. Wh

37、ile many regulatory bodies are evolving to accept the use of risk evaluations to demonstrate safety equivalency to prescriptive requirements, there may always be a number of regulatory bodies that will not accept such flexibility. The cognizant administration or regulatory body is the final determin

38、ing body for statutory or regulatory requirements under their jurisdiction. Note that if a proposed design is categorized as a Novel Concept according to the application scope defined in the ABS Guidance Notes on Review and Approval of Novel Concepts, then those Guidance Notes should be followed, un

39、less otherwise instructed by ABS. 3 Definitions Absolute Risk is the expression of risk in terms of the specific estimates of the frequency and consequence. Acceptable Risk is the expected risk that is considered tolerable for a given activity. Section 1 General 2 ABSGUIDE FOR RISK EVALUATIONS FOR T

40、HE CLASSIFICATION OF MARINE-RELATED FACILITIES .2003 Analysis Team is a team of the subject matter experts and risk analyst(s) who are responsible for performing the risk assessment. Change Analysis is a comparative risk assessment technique that logically identifies risk impacts and risk management

41、 strategies in situations where change is occurring. Confidence is the analysts/teams certainty of the risk evaluation. Consequence is an unwanted event that can negatively affect subjects of interest. It can be expressed as number of people affected (injured or killed), property damage, amount of a

42、 spill, area affected, outage time, mission delay, dollars lost or other measure of negative impact. Direct Design is a design that results from the direct application of the ABS Rules or Guides. Evaluation Metrics are qualitative and/or quantitative parameters selected to characterize or evaluate a

43、 proposed design in terms of its level of safety, that are used to judge the adequacy of the proposed design for classification. The evaluation metrics could be directly a risk measure (e.g. fatalities per year), but it could also be any one component that affects risk. Examples of evaluation metric

44、s are: the reliability of a system, the frequency of loss of propulsion events, the number of safeguards available to mitigate a fire in a specific location, etc. Event is an occurrence that has an associated outcome. There are typically a number of potential outcomes from any one initial event that

45、 may range in severity from trivial to catastrophic, depending upon other conditions and subsequent events. Frequency is the expected number of occurrences of an undesirable event expressed as events per unit time. Hazards are conditions that exist that may potentially lead to an undesirable event.

46、Major Hazard is a hazard with potentially unacceptable risk if not eliminated, controlled, and/or managed. Chapters 4 and 5 of ABSs Guidance Notes on Risk Assessment Application for the Marine and Offshore Oil and Gas Industries provide a list of major hazards. Qualitative Risk Assessment is a risk

47、assessment that expresses the risk in terms of quality or kind (e.g., low, high, very high). Quantitative Risk Assessment is a risk assessment that expresses the risk in terms of risk impact per unit time (e.g., $1,000,000 per year). Relative Risk is the expression of the change in risk relative to

48、a case of interest or baseline case. Risk is the product of frequency with which an undesirable event is anticipated to occur and the consequence of the events outcome. Risk Analysis is the process of understanding (1) what undesirable things can happen, (2) how likely they are to happen, and (3) ho

49、w severe the effects may be. More precisely, it is an integrated array of analytical techniques, e.g. reliability, availability and maintainability engineering, statistics, decision theory, systems engineering, human behavior, that can successfully integrate diverse aspects of design and operation in order to assess risk. Risk Assessment includes a risk analysis, but it also involves the process by which the results from risk analysis are considered against judgment, standards or criteria. Safety Margin is an adjustment made to compensate for the uncertainties and assumptions used in the
